Psalm 17:15
"As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness."

The day will come when we, as believers, are truly satisfied, and it will com eby way of beholding the face of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet we so often become entangled in the snares of this life. We forget that our King is returning. We forget that He taught us to pray "your kingdom come." We become satisfied with the temporal pleasures of thsi world. We are not the sojourners, pilgrims, or exiles that Peter urges us to be. (1 Peter 2:11)

But praise be to God when He overcomes our wandering hearts, for they are so prone to leave the God we love! Yet Christ promises that "no one is able to snatch [us] from the Father's hand" for He is "greater than all." (John 10), including greater than our sin. And in his infinite, unmerited grace, He has "shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." And there it is again--the face of our Lord Jesus.This is where we see God's glory. And this is what will alone satisfy our hearts and our souls.

May we see our Christ in Scripture more clearly as the Lord graciously "shines in our hearts" to show us His Son.
